You just said you don't own a DC2/ ITR so your input does not count because different car equal different results.
Understand?

because the window visors function SOOOO differently on a 4 door integra or rsx . window visors are window visors, therefore; yes, his input does count.

rice is not high in protein, it's a carb, brown rice has more fiber

still better than a tow hook or visor

So by your logic, there is not a bit of difference in aerodynamic efficiency between the 4dr and the ITR or for that matter all other cars?

So why did Acura add the front lip and rear wing to the ITR? And please please don't say for stlye/looks.
Do not tell me to shut the f_ck up when you are clearly clueless.

yes visors are suposed to have the same effect on all cars, but not all results are the same.

I've had window visors on 8 different cars and some just didn't do anything while some worked perfectly.

How about you rent a wind tunnel and prove me wrong?

My last post in a thread that should have been locked from the start.

I would have hoped that this topic would have been locked and the poster docked significant "points" a long, long time ago. Seriously!

Why, you might ask.
1) not ITR related
2) simply because this is a "stupid" post, that really should (if it belongs on H-T AT ALL), be in the appearance forum.
3) you need some blinker fluid before either of the above!

Wow we have boy genius. So your telling me that the spoiler on the type
R and lip is meant for a aerodymics? Oh yea I forget its a 14sec car. FAIL. I forget to mention that kids add 3 foot wings to there car so when vtec kicks in.

On another note. Is it just me or does anyone else know that the person that started this thread got his car stolen about a week ago?
